Hi ?B?a25naHQtdXNh?=,

My figure captions are not numbering correctly in a Word 2002 document. I am
using chapter numbers with the figure caption numbers which seems to be
working okay. However, midway through my document the figure captions revert
to number one again (e.g., 4-1, 4-2, 4-3, 4-1, 4-1 . . .). I have tried
updating the captions and pasting the graphics into a new document, but this
has not helped. The figure captions continue to misnumber.

Which version of Word? Does your document contain section breaks?

Press Alt+F9 to view the field codes. You probably see a combination of StyleRef
and SEQ field for the chapter-figure number? Please copy what you see INSIDE the
{ } brackets of the SEQ field and paste it into your reply. (BTW, Alt+F9 again
to hide the field codes)
